Trump can just taste that Peace Prize. Now he's renaming buildings.

Even though no one knows exactly what the Institute of Peace does it's even less since DOGE ran it through their weight loss program. Still, he craves so much to be the latest Peace Prize honoree he's lost all pretense of subtlety

The question now, is if he is allowed to XO this to happen, when will he stop naming Washington DC after himself? You know he has his eye on JFK airport.

malignant narcissism is one for the psychology textbooks.

Seriously annoying is that our tax dollars are paying for all this bullshittery. First to remove the original name, then rename it, and then to tear it down and restore the original name when we resume power. Renaming buildings generally is done by Congress to honor someone after their death.

No one before him thought they should claim ownership of it.
Congressional approval? Mike Johnson okays what he wants so fast he looks like a bobblehead.
